CAMT Surges to Half-Billion Dollar Milestone as AI Demand Sparks Record 2025 Results
Revenue and Profitability at All-Time Highs for 2025
Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT) is riding a wave of strong demand in the semiconductor industry, landing record financial results for 2025. The company reported annual revenues of $496.1 million, marking a robust 16% increase over the previous year. Fourth quarter revenue also reached a record $128.1 million, up 9% year-over-year. These achievements put Camtek’s topline above the significant half-billion dollar threshold for the first time in its history.
Profitability also trended higher: Annual non-GAAP net income rose 15% to $159.0 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS climbed to $3.26. Notably, full-year GAAP net income was affected by a one-time $88.7 million loss linked to convertible note extinguishment, bringing GAAP net income down to $50.7 million. However, on both GAAP and non-GAAP bases, Q4 net income saw solid year-over-year gains, reinforcing Camtek’s underlying strength.
Profit Margins and Cash Flow Continue to Strengthen
Camtek’s profit margins improved across the board. The company delivered a GAAP gross margin of 50.5% for the year, up from 48.9% in 2024. Non-GAAP gross margin reached 51.6%. This margin expansion flowed through to bottom-line performance and cash generation. Operating cash flow for 2025 reached $142.6 million, up from $127.3 million a year ago. The balance sheet finished the year in a formidable position, with cash, short-term and long-term deposits, and marketable securities totaling $851.1 million, up significantly from $448.6 million in 2024.
